Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dyspalsia (ARVD), a familial cardiomyopathy, is characterized by fibro-fatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium. Clinical manifestations include structural and functional abnormalities of the right ventricle and arrhythmias.It is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Four loci have been mapped so far: ARVD1 on chromosome 14q24.3, ARVD2 on chromosome 1q42-q43, ARVD3 on chromosome 14q12-q22, and ARVD4 on chromosome 2q32.1-q32.3. A rare form with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance, associated with diffuse nonepidermolytic palmoplanar keratoderma and wooly hair (Naxos disease) was mapped to chromosome 17q21.Although no gene has yet been identified, the identification of ARVD loci and the availability of several DNA polymorphic markers in their close proximity, open the way to the pre-symptomatic detection of ARVD carriers by DNA analysis.
